The type TTVS V-Flat bearing design includes one flat washer and one with a tapered raceway matching the rollers. The lower washer is constructed of two pieces to permit self-alignment under initial alignment conditions. This bearing type has exceptional dynamic capacity within a given envelope and provides static capacity. Most sizes utilize cages with hardened pins through the center of the rollers, allowing closer spacing of the rollers to maximize capacity.
Size ranges: 35 mm to 2940 mm (13.75 in. to 115.75 in.)
Design Attributes
- Design combines features of tapered thrust and cylindrical roller bearings to offer the highest possible capacity of any thrust bearing of its size.
- Washer design provides for self-alignment.
- Conformity between roller end and the rib is controlled to enhance the flow of lubricants, allowing the development of a hydrodynamic oil film between the end of the roller and the guiding surface of the rib.
Applications
- Heavily-loaded extruders
- Cone crushers
